to say but anyway um i also got a page done in one of my journals um memories of our time in leavenworth and i'm turning the computer i guess it's unavoidable now i have to go down and do the dishes because you know chores they're a thing i'll be back it's 10 30 this morning thursday uh tuesday july 19th almost thursday holy cow anyway letty um is downstairs cleaning our housekeeper and friend she's downstairs i'm upstairs taking my koi a lot of color boxes apart i've got two of them this one and a bigger one and i'm going to bag the colors up with their swatches in little bags and put them in my box with my backup watercolors um i never use them in the box i'm not a fan of the box but i also have two of these brushes also not a fan of those i won't get rid of them because i will use them for something but the way they are they're just taking up space i literally have not opened these since before we moved to oregon almost four years ago so that's kind of telling right all right i'm going to watch some youtube i'm going to get this done and i'll be back letty is done house is clean yay um client check came in the mail today so i'm going to spend some time wrapping up the painting and sending her on to her new home and the one i just finished which is for sale um it's got her clear coat and she's drying hold on she's got her clear coat and she is drying and then she is ready to be sold and move on to her new home right now my muse is painting crazy yes i've started a new one hey guys good morning it is wednesday july 20th i think pretty sure anyway it's 10 21 a.m had a little bit of a late start this morning i decided to just sleep in because i was tired and so you know but i have already gotten the pine tree schmutz cleaned up out of the driveway which in turn got traced up on my hands which i then had to clean off i got the dishes done all that stuff so now we're gonna go i've got a painting i've got a mail to a client so we're going to go take care of that today might make a couple stops and i might not feel like it i'm gonna play right here um and then i need to do a bunch of filming today tomorrow and friday and i need to work on new painting on the easel and i need to make some more iced coffee and some overnight oats like i have a list i've been writing it down as i think of things because yeah anyway one thing at a time right it's all you can do and if you have trouble remembering like me just write it down and you're not woken up at two o'clock in the morning with that thing you forgot to do anyway all right we are gonna go get it done and i'll be guys i got a little painting done uh a lot of painting done maybe so i got a new painting started it's not done but that's a really good start for where i think i want to go with this love that i think i said earlier that this one is done and it's dry it's all dry here i need to move it it's got its clear code it's been signed and all of that stuff on the back and then i made i did a watercolor this morning for the people who are working on my husband's sports car it'll be nice about working on his car and as a thank you um i did them a little piece and here we go uh north america and muscle cars name that a place and a really nice couple out in the business and i'll put their link to their website down below check them out uh anyway uh i got all that done and i was gonna do something else and i was gonna like write it down before i forgot yeah i forgot so then i bought another pencil sharpener i really don't need another one but i'm looking for a pencil sharpener to put into my sort of go drawing bag watercolor drawing bag because i do take that with me we go out of town um we go visit my dad or whatever that bag goes with me and i really need something that can sharpen my pencil and i'm not like getting shavings everywhere in my bag or whatever that the shavings can be contained because sometimes i'm in public at a restaurant and i'm not that person that's just gonna throw shavings on the ground i have this one this was recommended and i actually had to get it on amazon because my local shop was completely sold out and while i like the way it sharpens and it does a really great job and it's nice and it's flat enough to fit in my bag and it holds a decent amount of shavings this little drawer here a little hole that where you put the pencil in and when you close it that's where it keeps the shavings in if it opens the shavings fall out it doesn't always close all the way so although i like it that's a problem i have another one i will put a picture of here um that i like i got it at digblick it's a good again it's a good sharpener it stays nice and closed so the shavings don't give it everywhere and it's not messy i'm just not crazy about how it sharpens um i also have it's like i have so many pencil sharpeners you guys i have lots of these but they're not contained in shavings go everywhere um and i have this one from prismacolor a lot of people have this one this is great talk about bulky it doesn't fit in your bag easily it's good for in studio but i mean i have these for like large crayon i mean crayon well crayons or pencils i've got this is a crayola one i don't even know why i have this because i'm not like us i do have no i don't even need this one there's so many sanders i've got filers yeah there's a lot and like none of them it might this might be the next drawer i have to go through and none of them are like great i can't get it closed oh yeah yeah none of them are great and so i found this one today at my local asian market they have a little section from dye of stuff from dyzo and um the dot this dial is for um changing you know the size of the point that you want on the pencil this is where you empty it and what i really like which i didn't know when i bought it this is like a door like that's going to be i think hard to accidentally get open maybe maybe i don't know we'll try it we'll see i don't know it's all we can do right anyway you wouldn't think that would be a hard thing to do find a decent travel pencil sharpener but evidently it is unbelievable anyway first first world problems right all right i'll be back that was a successful morning so four journal pages four videos all filmed and in the camp so to speak i feel good about that all right time for lunch before we figure out what we're going to do next and we're going to go we've got to go water the kids plants when bob gets off at work so we'll do that when he's off all right i'm going to shut things down i'll be back okay lunch is over and i actually have turned the computer off early it's about one just after one o'clock i think i could do a lot of other things but i'm going to go for a walk it's a little bit warmish out it's like 79 80 degrees so i do have some water with me i don't think we're going to go too far i didn't bring any art supplies i'm just going to go walking we haven't been in a few days because of the weather last night it didn't cool off until like 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock or something last night it's been 90 plus for a few days so we haven't hit peak heat yet today it will get hotter uh our peak is usually about three o'clock here where we are near portland but before it hits that i think i'm going to go get some steps in all right let's go see what we can see i'll be back everybody i can still say that because it's not noon yet but it's close it's just about 11 30 and although i did sleep in a little bit this morning it has been a busy morning um so and i haven't even edited the videos i shot yesterday i shot four videos yesterday i have different journal pages one including an rt trio and i haven't even touched any of that footage yet i just put the sd card into the computer i've been working on an online art portfolio probably a new website um and maybe that'll include a blog an actual written blog um i'm also putting the entire etsy shop on sale starting august 8th and um yeah because i'm going to be transitioning i think away from etsy i know right um there are purge boxes for sale and um they are listed and they are included in the in the sale price um and so there are sort of mystery boxes they include stamps and stencils so i mean you know i don't remember what all else is in there to be honest with you um it should say some kind of description in the in the listing description uh anyway um yeah i'm just transitioning away from etsy it's not really benefiting me at the moment and we're going to be doing something else and i will be also probably pursuing more custom artwork and client work and selling some of my artwork privately and so if you're interested in something let me know um i will still have digital downloads available but they'll be on the new website for now they're all still available on etsy and they're gonna like i said they're going to be on sale now if you're a patron or supporter you get access to the sale now and you get a discount code that is for a bigger percentage off than what you're all going to get in a general sale i know right in fact i got to create that patron um message over on patreon right now patreon's not too expensive it's like two dollars a month the link is down below if you want to support the free content here on youtube plus you have your own private youtube channel for patrons and supporters only and and a private facebook chat where you can get ahold of me and we can chat and i can share things as they have in and all of that stuff so anyway that was a big choice but i'm glad i made it it feels good all right i guess it's time to video edit uh all right i'll be back all four videos edited and loaded to youtube and then realized i forgot one so i had to film it really quick open clean off the table and then film it really quick um edit um it actually turned out really cute for something that i completely forgot about anyway so that'll be coming up and uh sent out a few messages via facebook to people um posted the sale of the etsy shop everywhere um i'm waiting for the video that i just did really quick to load and then i'm turning the computer off for the day it's only 2 50 p.m but it's friday it needs to go off i will go down and have a snack but some youtube well bob i'm waiting for bob to get off work and then we're going to go to the grocery store so anyway that's it for the minute i'll be back everybody it's just before 10 a.m saturday july 23rd and i've got kind of a lot to do today i've got to water the plants i've got to do the dishes normal chores i need to play with moving the vegetable pots around to where they might get watered by the sprinklers we have a few upcoming dates where we're not going to be home long enough and it's going to be hot enough that if i don't do that then i have to find somebody to water because they're going to be dead when i get home so that's a thing um i am going to have to find somebody to water plants for me too but i think one of the girls can do that so anyway um i also have a friend coming to visit in a couple months i'm so excited about that so i want to start planning what we're going to do while she's here um but first i guess i better do chores because breakfast dishes are clogging up the sink all right let's get to it bob's back from getting the Subaru cleaned and he's right now getting the tree sap off of my car because that's a thing when you live in Oregon near the woods it's just i think all the chores are done i drank my bone broth of a few minutes to kill so i'm going to surf the internet a little bit then we're going to go to one kid's house and water their plants and check the mail and then we're going to meet the other kids for lunch and then we have to go run a couple errands but it's all good i'll show you guys this so if you haven't seen my um series of videos yet called the messy journal or i'll link the playlist down below um but i work in a specific kind of a journal and although i do try to protect the finished pages i don't worry too much about things getting messy and spilling over and i guess that's a good thing because the cover looks like this and although some of it's covered with plastic it's not all so yeah oh yeah there we go yeah i just took the plastic off so i guess it's a good thing i don't care too much about it being messy i think it looks pretty cool i'll be back i'm still working on the car i finished some work in the yard plenty of seedlings to share with the kids after i planted the ones i wanted yay um got it all watered got myself a quick shower changed my clothes sat down to have some water and watch a couple youtube videos and thought to myself i really should get up and do took me five minutes i thought of it one second forgot about it in the next second i i remember what it is now so i'm gonna go i gotta refill my pillbox it's time to fill all right i'll be back i mentioned lately that we love the wildlife i know it's ridiculous but we do all right i'll be back nobody over here at this one just that one the yard setting off the cameras let's see what it is anything i think it was a cat there's a lot of cats in the neighborhood strays and otherwise so i don't know anyway it's been a fun week and it's been a fun day i can't believe it's seven o'clock already um but yeah it's
